    Speaker/ amp recommendations

    I'm in the middle of a sound overhaul on my Tahoe, so far I've got a kenwood excelon head unit which I love, and I've managed to integrate the " lux" bose amp to keep factory chimes and such, but even though it sounds pretty great for factory speakers, it's lacking in overall punch, and not...

    "luxury" amp transplant

    Looking to see if anyone has ever transplanted the "luxury" bose amp and radio into a base model tahoe. Also looking to see if anyone has a luxury amp, or at least a part number for one available. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Yet another backup cam thread

    Just bought a 2012 LS, and wondering if there's a way to add a factory style backup camera to the hatch? I've looked at where it's installed on my 08 denali, and it doesn't appear that there's a cutout. That's not a big deal i can cut it or buy a new plate that's already cut out. Planning on...

    Electrical issue

    Technically speaking this isn't for a NBS tahoe, it's on my swapped 98. little background, it's an 02 5.3l, and i've swapped in the gauges and BCM from the truck as well. Recently when the engine is started it will kill the class 2 data, so that I lose all of my PCM controlled gauges. Engine...

    Bixenon Projector Mod

    So, i HATE my HIDs anymore. The ridiculous amount of glare, and poor focus have driven me to the point I wanted to go back to normal Halogen bulbs. I had a suggestion to try a set of Projector headlights from Ebay, and while they look better than the stock Halogen low beams. the high beams are...

    Header Flanges

    So i picked up a set of OBX headers with ball flanges on the end, and I would like to reuse the downpipe from the rolled k2500 as it's rather large pipe. Does anyone have experience with ball and socket flanges, and if so would these collectors fit onto these headers?

    Gauge needles and rear ac controls

    I've got needles in my current cluster that are from a pontiac aztec, they look awesome but i'm thinking they are off by just a bit. Is there a reliable way to set the gauges to the correct positions without a scan tool? I'm also going to be installing my DIC overhead console in my new...

    Manual Transplant in the aut'Hoebot

    Planning on doing an NV4500 swap into my white 98 Tahoe. It's currently a 4l60e/np246 autotrac setup so I'm trying to compile all of the information I'll need to do the swap in one place. The donor is a 2000 k2500 4wd with an NV4500 and an np241. it's been rolled but still starts and shifts...

    Protecting underbody

    Unfortunately I'm going to have to part out my current Tahoe due to the body rusting out, so i bought another one lol. Anyone have tips for protecting the body and frame from rust? While the new motor and transmission are being built, I'll have access to the entire underbody of the truck...

    383 Build thread

    The title says it all folks. I've priced the difference between the HT383e, Blueprint engines 383 short block, and building my own, and doing it myself just makes more financial sense so I'm going to document my process, progress, and see if anyone has tips or advice on this build. I'm...

    Fuel gauge issues

    My father in law has an 04 with an unusual issue. When the engine is turned on the fuel gauge advances a bit like its going to full, but never comes back to the correct fuel level. It's gone nearly a full revolution clockwise already and im wondering if this is a known condition, how we can test...

    Rust....

    I'm looking at either spending the cash to get the tahoe completely redone bodywise (doors fenders, rhino lining, etc) until I got underneath it today. I noticed that I've got quite a bit of rust creeping in on the bottom of the body, and i'm wondering if it's even worth fixing. Would I be...

    Engine choices

    My vortec is starting to show her age at 210k. I was hoping to get your opinions on cost vs return on investment for a few motor choices. My ultimate goal with this truck is roughly 350 to the ground, and im wondering if the best way to do that would be a crate long block, a custom rebuild at a...

    CNG bifuel vortec

    Has anyone ever done a bi fuel vortec 350? I know its not difficult on the 6.0 ls motors, but the vortec has a spider instead of individual injectors. I was doing some reading sayin that it should be similar to a direct port nitrous injection setup which seems doable. The other big issue ive...

    Simple one here, how should i go about cleaning up surface rust under the carpet especially around the seams (i guess it's panel glue?) I've put a lot into this truck and i'd like to keep the body from rusting out.

    Found this at the junkyard

    So I found this JET powertrain control module at the savage yard today, picked it up for $5 with an aux fuse box. The only problem was it was on a 5.0, and I dont know if it requires anything to work on a 5.7. Due to the label being ruined I also have no idea if it's a stage one, which I can...

    I was looking for a vector drawing of an OBS tahoe to play with color schemes but i can't find one. I was wondering if someone here had something similar, or could do a shop of my truck with it black from the body line down, and black from the bottom of the windows up?

    Excessive draw with bass

    Ive got a decent set of subwoofers in my truck with what I believe to be an adequate charging system yet I still have issues with dimming and even lids of rpm that I notice when I'm parked. Aside from the big 3 upgrade, I have dual batteries, a 200 amp alternator, and 0 gauge running back to my...
